And if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to make the most of every single moment, and not take for granted the freedoms that we still have.

Until international travel is again permitted—and safe—we’ve found ourselves a temporary residence: Candace Rose Rardon’s Instagram page.

A travel writer and sketch artist, Rardon describes herself as an unofficial cultural anthropologist, inspired by the many cultures she visits around the world (at least when traveling is possible).

But unlike other travel influencers, Rardon chooses a unique medium through which she documents her travels: illustrating. Traveling with a sketchbook and a set of watercolors, she brings to life the places and people she meets along the way.

“At the beginning, I pursued my passion for world cultures through writing,” she explains on her website. “I earned my Master’s in Travel Writing with distinction from London’s Kingston University, before writing for a variety of publications.”

Originally from the state of Virginia, Rardon has spent more than a decade traveling and living abroad, in cultures like India, New Zealand, and Uruguay. “Travel can change us, send us off in new directions,” she stresses. “And—sometimes when we least expect it—help us feel at home.”

Tilse was born and raised in Sidney, but he decided to explore Europe after leaving university. His backpacking adventure opened the window into a whole new world, and drawing quickly became a crucial part of it.

In an interview with Outlook Traveler, Tilse said he realized that traveling and drawing go hand in hand. His illustrations proved to be the perfect outlet for his creativity and allowed him to put his memories down on paper.

Tilse often sketches on location, drawing inspiration from the building in front of him. Incredible attention to detail is one of the signature traits of his work, and it can take him up to 50 hours to finish a single drawing. From the regular illustrations to cutout replicas, there’s always something about his work worth admiring, and he made prints of some of his best drawings available for purchase through his Etsy store at Maxwell Illustration.
